If I were only a child again |
|
No one's ever been, oh, good to me since then |
|
Everywhere I looked it seemed so color bright |
|
There were never such things to me as black and white |
|
Remember when we were part of that special few |
|
Everything it seemed was so pure and true |
|
I guess we were just too young to understand |
|
The unselfish cause of death and war and roles of man |
|
Only, only, only a child |
|
Only, only, only a child |
|
Only, only, only a child |
|
Only a child again, hey, hey |
|
If I were only a child again |
|
I would never want to venture life like this again |
|
People of the world hurling sticks and stones |
|
Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones |
|
Only, only, only a child |
|
If I were only a child again |
|
And have the ability to understand |
|
I'd speak for little people from the date of birth |
|
And ask the grown ups, when will there be peace on earth? |
|
Grown ups, when will there be peace on earth? |
|
Brother, when will there be peace on earth? |
|
Only, only, only a child |
|
Only, only, only a child |
|
Only, only, only a child |
|
Only a child again, hey, hey |
